Apple Inc. said it didn't provide a set of IDs tied to its devices to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, days after a hacking group claimed to have obtained the data from the computer of an FBI agent.

"The FBI has not requested this information from Apple, nor have we provided it to the FBI or any organization," said Apple spokeswoman Natalie Kerris.
